A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 151

 

 

 

 

 

The beginning was, as always, truly trivial.

 

A comment made during one of Altair’s members’ OA live streams was the start of it all.

 

 

 

[Good night. Dream of me. Eng plz? You want me to say it in English? Good night. And what’s ‘dream of me’ in Korean? Ah, it’s ‘nae kkum kkwo.’ Wait, I think I’ve heard this somewhere in a greeting. So those guys use ‘dream of me~’ as their greeting?]

 

 

 

‘Dream of me’ was Rev’s greeting slogan. Anyone could tell that the ‘those guys’ the Altair member mentioned was Rev.

 

Mentioning another idol group during a live stream was somewhat careless, and if you only read the text, it could be seen as mocking, but watching the video, it didn’t really feel like mockery.

 

 

 

-Will it be okay that Sumin mentioned another group today???

 

└If they make a fuss by just cutting out the text, we can clarify by releasing the video showing it wasn’t that kind of nuance at all

 

 

 

Altair’s fans also tried to brush it off lightly since it wasn’t a big deal by their standards.

 

But the problem was that Rev’s fandom, Daydream, had been accumulating resentment toward Altair and Altair’s fandom Aquila ever since the era when their activities overlapped, being criticized and mocked for supposedly copying their music leak as noise marketing.

 

In that situation, that Altair member’s comment was like throwing a lighter onto a pile of gunpowder.

 

 

 

-How easy did we look that now, after all this, not even fans but that member is mocking our kids?

 

-Ever since , you kept chanting about the skill gap like a mantra ㅋㅋㅋ so fucking annoying ㅋㅋ Must be nice having your brain synced up with the fans

 

-I was already pissed about our performance falling due to this music leak, and who was it that mocked us first calling it noise marketing? Who does noise marketing by leaking entire songs?

 

└ Honestly the 20-second exposure felt more like noise marketing lol

 

└Would they copy a music leak if they had nothing else to copy? Our kids are victims too, are they feeling guilty because they’re the real noise marketing?

 

-Fuck, their slogan was “best shining star” but they were embarrassed so after gaining seniority they subtly dropped the slogan from their greetings

 

-Best Shining Star lol what’s with the self-consciousness??

 

└I was an Altair fan back then so I know, Altair is the alpha star of Aquila constellation so it means the brightest star,,,

 

 

 

But even at this point, Daydream wasn’t completely united.

 

 

 

[Recording Work Vlog (feat. Guerrilla Warfare)]

 

 

 

It started with a video uploaded to the official YouTube account.

 

 

 

[Eden: Depending on how you record, this training officer can become either a devil or an angel. Understood?]

 

 

 

Eden wearing a guerrilla instructor hat while producing, and the youngest line using all kinds of therapy to somehow appease Eden’s anger, was enough to provide small laughs.

 

 

 

-How are we supposed to increase Seo Yehyeon’s parts when he’s like that? Eden will collapse from anger first

 

-Give him more parts and then coach him. You give him tiny parts but coach him so intensely

 

 

 

Of course, there were fans who found such scenes displeasing.

 

But after seeing the brief interview Yuje conducted after the work was done, such comments disappeared.

 

 

 

[Yuje: Are you satisfied with your current parts, hyung?]

 

[Yehyeon: I’m really satisfied. If my parts get longer, it just means more suffering time. My mom says this amount is just right too. Since I can’t sing anyway, it’s annoying if you listen for too long.]

 

 

 

Yehyeon said this with a playful laugh in response to Yuje’s question.

 

 

 

[Yuje: Hyung, isn’t it hard doing the producing work? It’s hard for us too, but it must be really hard for you.]

 

[Eden: It’s not hard when I listen to the finished product. I’m always trying my best to bring out the best in you guys, I mean the members.]

 

 

 

Eden also answered the following question immediately with a refreshing smile.

 

 

 

-Guys ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m sorry we fought over every little thing ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

-Sigh, everyone who cursed at Yehyeon and Eden should reflect

 

-Yehyeon’s real mom has no complaints about his parts, but why are fake moms more dissatisfied;;;

 

 

 

And the next video that was uploaded.

 

 

 

[What songs do rappers sing at karaoke?]

 

 

 

It was a video of Seo Yehyeon and Yoon Eden going to a coin karaoke. Setting aside showing their quite friendly relationship.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: I’m going to sing , but I don’t know if I can hit the high notes….]

 

 

 

-As expected, he couldn’t hit them

 

-It’s way too high lol Even Yuje would struggle with that lol Did he choose certain death

 

 

 

[Eden: I’ll pick which has impressive refreshing high notes.]

 

 

 

-Eden, you can’t hit the high notes hahahaha Don’t strain your voice for nothing hahaha

 

-Is that a pterodactyl…? Why did I think Eden was good at singing until now…?

 

 

 

[Eden: Taker hyung-nim, I mean senior’s !]

 

 

 

-Yoon is so excited haha

 

-Are you censoring the word “fuck” itself right now? lol

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: This is Ready senior’s .]

 

 

 

-Isn’t that a beeper generation song…?

 

-Yehyeon’s rap is… haha still, vocals are better than rap for you Yehyeon, just stick to the vocal path

 

 

 

[Eden: I’ll sing Ready senior’s .]

 

 

 

-Woohoo national hip-hop top!!! Eden let’s go to DTB!!!

 

 

 

By coolly revealing Eden’s real singing skills, who had been getting by somehow with his vocal tone, the skill controversy was concluded.

 

 

 

-lady↗ hahahahaha

 

-I’ll admit Eden wins overwhelmingly in rap, but I absolutely can’t acknowledge vocals

 

 

 

Both Seo Yehyeon and Yoon Eden were similarly lacking when it came to high notes.

Thanks to the two videos, the malicious commenters who had been running wild with issues disappeared.

 

Those who realized through this incident that the more malicious commenters stirred things up, the more the fandom atmosphere would split, started rushing at malicious commenters like wasp exterminators the moment they spotted them, and the malicious commenters who surfaced gradually disappeared as well.

 

Indeed, nothing was as effective for uniting people as a common enemy.

“Lee Sumin! What the hell did you do!”

 

Cha Yeonho let out a frustrated scream and grabbed his member’s shoulders.

 

The member who was suddenly grabbed without understanding why looked up at Cha Yeonho with bewildered eyes. Other members rushed over urgently to pull Cha Yeonho away from him.

 

“Yeonho, what’s wrong? Hey, Cha Yeonho! We need to know what’s going on!”

 

KJ and other members shouted at him, but it didn’t reach his ears.

 

The danger level that had dropped to 50 shot back up to 70 in just one day. The only thing that happened during that day was Lee Sumin’s OA live.

 

Through various experiments, the danger level fluctuated based on Altair’s success, but showed the biggest changes when entangled with Rev.

 

If he couldn’t bring down Rev, the danger level would never drop to 0 and Altair would follow the path to downfall again.

 

He had taken that made Rev rise, and even interfered to ensure this album would never succeed, so why!

 

“Why is he acting like that?”

 

A member’s voice full of complaints came from behind.

 

“Yeonho has been under a lot of stress lately…”

 

Listening to KJ’s words defending him like an excuse, Cha Yeonho entered his room with staggering steps.

 

He desperately wanted to escape from this damn red vision.

[☀Starting Weekly Quest settlement.]

 

[Since you completed all Quests, an additional 10 Initial Intentions points are awarded.]

 

 

 

“Phew, at least I put out the urgent fire.”

 

The Initial Intentions that had dropped to the 60s recovered to the 80s by completing all the Weekly Quests.

 

As I muttered with relief, Ryu Jaehee wiped his forehead and responded to my words.

 

“Yes, just like Hyung said, we really put out the urgent fire for now. I thought Rev was going to be ruined…”

 

The meaning of ‘urgent fire’ that we two were talking about was definitely different. Do you also have Initial Intentions? No, you don’t.

 

As soon as the controversy about Seo Yehyeon’s part distribution exploded, Ryu Jaehee dragged me and Seo Yehyeon to a coin karaoke.

 

 

 

‘Alright, Hyungs. From now on, just select songs as I tell you to. First, select one song each that has no high notes and that you Hyungs can sing comfortably.’

 

‘Ah, this is hard. Hey, Youngest Member, are ballads okay too?’

 

‘What songs don’t have high notes…’

 

‘Next is songs with crazy high notes. Whether it’s rock or ballad, songs that absolutely can’t be handled with your vocal ranges, Hyungs.’

 

‘Oh, this one’s easy to select. There are more than just one or two songs I can’t handle with my vocal range.’

 

‘I should go with the song that cracked at karaoke last time.’

 

‘And next is foreign hip hop. Without profanity.’

 

‘Hey, where is there foreign hip hop without profanity? They all basically start with the f-word. Sigh, I’ll sing Taker Hyung’s song after a long time.’

 

‘Jaehee, what should I do? Hyung doesn’t know any foreign hip hop songs…?’

 

‘Then Yehyeon Hyung can pass. Just select a pop song. Next is Korean hip hop. Similarly, without profanity.’

 

‘I told you there’s no such thing? This kid is giving us a mission to find a unicorn. This is a genre where it’s basic to put f__ker after Mother just to match the rhyme.’

 

‘Wow, I really hate this… I’ll do .’

 

‘Ah, there were Ready Senior’s songs. Ugh, but those are too old and the lyrics are too clean, not my style.’

 

‘Just do it. Are you going to say motherf*cker in front of the camera?’

 

‘With that face saying motherf… it really doesn’t suit you.’

 

 

 

We selected songs as Ryu Jaehee instructed without knowing why and sang passionately, and Ryu Jaehee captured it all on the camcorder.

 

The next day, our coin karaoke video was uploaded to the official YouTube account, and that evening Ryu Jaehee declared the situation over with a satisfied face.

 

Judging by the decrease in criticism about me that I saw while doing Search Quests, it seemed Ryu Jaehee had somehow put out the fire.

 

Of course, there was no particular damage from criticism toward me. For me, musicality came before getting criticized.

 

I couldn’t increase Seo Yehyeon’s parts further here just because I was afraid of criticism, which would lower the musicality. If I was really scared, I would have increased them from the beginning.

 

Of course, if Seo Yehyeon’s skills improved, I was willing to increase his parts.

 

Anyway, just as I let out a sigh of relief after getting one worry off my chest, a blue status window appeared before my eyes.

 

 

 

[Surprise QUEST★]

 

[▶Let’s find the spy who leaked the music source!

 

-Content: Find the spy who leaked the music source and escape from the threat of future music source leaks!

 

-Reward: 10 Initial Intentions, Random Ticket

 

-Deadline: Before the next album activities

 

※Penalties exist if you fail to find the spy within the time limit!]

 

 

 

If you’re going to give me a Quest, give me something like ‘Let’s prevent illegal leaks!’ What am I, a detective? A police officer? You want me to investigate and find a spy?

 

Since it referred to them as a spy, it seemed to be an internal force. Someone who wouldn’t end it as a one-time thing and could very well leak music sources again next time.

 

What, should I grab each LnL staff member and ask if they happen to be a spy?

 

As I rubbed my forehead because my head was throbbing, Ryu Jaehee asked me.

 

“What’s wrong, Hyung? Is it because of the music video? This music video was quite experimental.”

 

Jaehee, right now Hyung has to conduct an even bigger experiment.
